A sample of some of the earliest color motion picture films. In this test, made in 1922 at the Paragon Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, actress Mae Murray is joined by actress Hope Hampton modeling costumes from The Light in the Dark, which contained the first commercial use of Two-Color Kodachrome in a feature film.

This was just beautiful to watch, how the colors glowed and the women vogued it up. Wikipedia has some interesting info on the actresses, as well. Mae Murray had a particularly interesting, but difficult life.
